When standing up for turn with the
gloves look your man full in the eye, don't
lose his gaze for an instant, for it is the in
fallible mirror which will inform you of what
his brain is evolving before his limbs have
had time to execute it. Remember always
that in general the left hand is the weapon
of assault the right being held for the pur-
pose of defense. OF course this remark does
not imply that you are not to let drive with
your left and right in rapid succession, which
is often done when opportunity offers.
Advance your left foot forward, therefore,
planting it fiat and firmly on the ground.
The right foot should be from ten to four
teen inches in the rear of the left.
Let the fists be lightly closed when you
are sparring round, but tighten them stimuli
taneously with the delivery of blow or
when warding OFF your adversary. This
seems perhaps slight point to strike for,
but very short experience will show its
wisdom and Importance when put into prac-
tice.
Let the head be, if anything, inclined q
trihe to the right, and do not protrude the
chin. Although both eyes should look
straight into those of your opponent, the left
cheek should be slightly turned toward him,
in order to prevent plump blow between
the eyes taking equally bad effect on both.

WILD TURKEY SHOOTING.
How the Stupid Birds Are Found and
Killed in the South.


CHARLESTON, Jan. 1.-THE goose, for some
reason or other, has been generally considered
the exempar of all that is dull and stupid.
But there is certainly one bird which greatly
exceeds it in stupidity. Some Of the smallest
of the feathsred tribe will resort to all sorts
of devices for the purpose of distracting atten-
ton from the locality of their nests; but the
wild turkey of South Carolina will blindly
lead its dire enemy, the huntsman, to its roost.
The turkey hunter is almost invariably ac-
companied by his dog-usualg a mongrel,
who knows only enough to attack the wounded
bird when it attempts to utilize its sturdy legs
as n means of escape from its woud-bc de-
stroyer.
The method employed by the southern negro,
who is the most persistent enemy the wild
turkey has, is quite simple one Strolling
out into the woods on fine afternoon he puts
his "call" IA curiously contrived instrument
made of cane to his lips and proceeds to imi-
tate the noise made by the gobber. If he re-
ceives no response he moves on for q consider
| able distance and continues to repeat
| the experiment until his call is an
swered. He then slowly rises from his
STOPPING posture, when the turkey upon
| ing him starts to fly in bee line toward its
roost. 1t will have become quite dark by this
time, and the negro quickly follows and by
the judicious use of the "call" soon discovers
the tree or trees upon which the drove"
roosts every night.
The rest is plain sailing for the darky. He
is astir bright and early next morning and
| sallies forth upon his elrand of destruction,
gun upon shoulder and this homely but ODE
dent mongrel following at his heels Arriv-
ing at the roost about an hour before light,
he awaits the first peep of day, upon the
| rival of which he fires into the bunch, usually
bringing down one or more of the birds. 1t
is right here that the dense stupidity of the
turkey is most forcibly illustrated. The sur
vivors, aroused by the discharge of the gun,
look YEARLY about them, and if they
once into semi-conscious state. The
hunter, who has been awaiting this, again
fires, and repeats the operation until
the daylight or some ndiscreet movement Of
his, warns the birds that they must be off to
their feeding grounds, for which they start in
! a body, followed by parting shot from both
, barrels of the darky's gun. This is usually
his most effective shot, and it is not an un-
common occurrence for him to "wing" half a
dozen or SO. This affords the dog an oppor-
2 tunity to display his mettle, the wounded
q birds begin to run as soon as they strike the
ground or cornered they will fight like game
cocks
The negro returns to the slaughter every
= morning until the whole flock has been
= slaughtered. One "drove" will sometimes
yield the fortunate finder $50 worth of birds.

too much of the running stock, particu-
larly in New Jersey and southwark of us I;
and the other is, we have too little. That
medium, so desirable for the road, which
for years has given celebrity to the pri-
vate and public conveyances in New
England, was not generally known here
until the establishment of the trotting
club on the Hunting Park course.
Five years ago man would jeopardize
his reputation for veracity if he asserted
that many of the eastern horses could
trot mile in I'm. 42s., while at the pres

that the Boston Grey, called Burster,
trotted, fair and square, one mile on the

have now endeavored to establish this
fact, that trotting is as natural to GER

is to the full blooded. OF the latter stock
how common is it get up produce purse,
to be run for three years after the colts
are foaled? And in the same manner
and with the same confidence, many a
trotting match has been made on the en-
bryo colts in anticipation of their per
